Best line of the episode: “Thank it for being there for you and put it back on the shelf” 😂 Great show, as always.

🤣 - at least one person is paying attention. Thanks, Jim!

Great show! I love using my library as a reference library. Researching different versions of tricks is so much fun. Thanks, Jeff! Don’s Magic and Books rocks!

Appreciate the kind words, Scott! It is *so much fun*!!

Great video, Jeff! My favorite part of building a magic library is that it affords me the ability to pull other works that may be referenced in the credits of an effect or method that I’m studying. I think that cross referencing is where some of the real gold is found.

Great episode. Cafe & Archive have been so useful when it comes where & what to buy :)

Don's carrying The Hermit Vol 2 for $30 less than publisher! Picked them + 3 other titles and Don got it to me really fast. Highly recommend.

To clarify: The price I have it for is the correct price. $120 Canadien is equal to $90 US.

Glad to hear you got a great deal and even better customer service!

Dr. Bill and Ran Pink ;) Thanks, as always, for the never ending stream of excellent videos.

I've heard of Dr. Bill's tear - where is that published? Appreciate the kind words, too!

Great research methodology Jeff. Glad that mentioned Denis Behr’s Archive as well as its limitations. It doesn’t seem to be very well known. Your method will definitely help those who ask, “what’s the best….?” answer the question for themselves and make new discoveries and connections. 😃

I love using it myself!

Business card center tear should be done instead with a peek wallet.

@EruditeMagic 3 ай бұрын

Depends on the scenario, but yes, I use a Jaks Wallet when I go this route. What's your go-to?

Oh great wise one of the Libro Magica what is your recommendation? I have an opportunity to purchase The Artful Mentalism of Bob Cassidy for close to $250. But I heard a rumor, I think from you, that it may go back into print this year. Should I strike while the iron is hot and purchase this book or should I wait for it to go back into print? I almost spent a ton of money on Barry Richardson's three Hermetic Press books. I'm glad that I didn't, because they went back into print only a few weeks after I found them for hundreds of dollars less. I'm glad I dodged that bullet. I don't want to miss out on an opportunity, but I also don't want to spend a lot of money only to find out if I just waited a few more weeks, I could have saved myself a couple hundred bucks.

@EruditeMagic 4 ай бұрын

🤣 I would definitely wait. I have it on pretty good authority that they will be reprinted in the near future. Definitely not worth taking out a second (or third!) mortgage

@Dr.Tinkerpaw 4 ай бұрын

@@EruditeMagic Thank you! I will hold out. But in the meantime. I think I'll take advantage of a rare opportunity to purchase Ted Leslie's Para Miracles.

@EruditeMagic 4 ай бұрын

@Dr.Tinkerpaw definitely recommend Paramiracles!

is mind myth and magick worth picking up?

@EruditeMagic 5 ай бұрын

It's okay. I don't love how hard it is to find everything because of the complex names... 🤷🏻

I was waiting for Don's Christmas sale if you sent $100 you get some books free. But 2023 no Christmas sale like that one. I even had that money waiting for sale

@EruditeMagic 5 ай бұрын

Oh well 🤷🏻 I guess that means you came into the new year with money burning a hole in your pocket 😉

@donunicycle 5 ай бұрын

I change up my sales every year, depending on what I have in stock and if I’m actually at home at the time of the sales. My “plus one” sale is coming up soon…
